She remembered.
She remembered Ye Buqi's farewell, the fire that engulfed her world, and Ye Buqi's death.
She clutched her chest, scratched her throat, still feeling heartbroken and unable to breathe.
People passing by cast strange glances, then walked away laughing and talking.
Wang Yao ran over and squatted down to block the view of the surroundings.
Chang Le knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face and wetting her hair. She cried so hard that she convulsed, and every part of her body ached.
That autumn, Xiao Ye's appearance brought a fresh start to her world;
Spring has come, but her world has withered.
"Hahaha..." Chang Le suddenly laughed softly, but it was more mournful than crying, sending chills down the spines of those who heard it.
Chang Le lifted his face, which was covered in tears, sweat, and mud. His dark green eyes were tinged with blood, and madness burned within the emptiness of despair.
"rhubarb……"
“I’m here, I’m here,” Wang Yao said, supporting her.
Chang Le grinned widely, laughing heartily.
Do you know where my lightning came from?
"I kept her with me."
Wang Yao's expression changed.
...
Xiao Changle was dragged out of the fire by rescuers. Her body and face were covered in blood. She was clutching her right hand tightly and frantically protecting it, leaving the medical staff who wanted to help clean her body helpless. They had no choice but to temporarily place her in the ambulance and continue the rescue.
In the ambulance, Xiao Changle slowly opened her palm.
Minced flesh fell from between his fingers, discolored blood seeped into his skin, and the bloodstained palms formed a stark contrast with his hands.
It was a beautiful, silver, shiny pronucleus.
That was Ye Buqi's primordial core.
Xiao Chang Le's eyes were empty, but her black pupils seemed to burn with red light. She grinned and rubbed her face against the lightning core in her palm.
The lightning stung her face, but it felt just like Ye Buqi's rough hands were stroking it.
"Sister Ye, we will be together forever."
Xiao Changle murmured as she crushed the lightning's core. Silver dust drifted away without a trace, while silver-purple light flowed into her body.
Xiao Changle fell seriously ill, and when she woke up, she was sent to an orphanage by people from the neighborhood committee and police officers.
She had forgotten who she was, where she came from, and why she was there.
All I remember is Sister Xiaoye's death, I remember that I am forever one with Sister Xiaoye, and I remember Sister Xiaoye saying that I should live well.
...
Chang Le's fingertips dug into his arm, his eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse, yet he laughed: "I already had the [Ten Thousand Thunder Technique], I carved it out myself and put it into my body, I'm just a madman, hahaha..."
She collapsed from exhaustion and was caught by Wang Yao.
A hoarse murmur, tinged with tears, said, "Sister Ye... I miss you..."
...
Wang Yao helped her sit down by the roadside. After a long wait, Chang Le finally looked up from his arms. Her eyes were red and swollen, like shattered and reassembled frost flowers, but her voice was calm:
“It’s okay, I know she’s still there, just in a way that’s hard for me to catch.”
Wang Yao was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
Chang Le asked him, "Have you met Chairman Ye?"
Wang Yao realized: "You mean Ye Buqi from the Dragon Scale Society? I know that. The one who often acts in his place is Bionic Number 1."
Luo Xuan had already told him that Chang Le had been to Liangcheng and met No. 1.
Chang Le slowly exhaled: "It's alright. Even if she only has a wisp of soul and some consciousness left, it's better than her disappearing in that fire. Ye Buqi is still here, we should be grateful."
Wang Yao met her calm yet hopeful gaze, froze, and then awkwardly looked away: "You're right, she... is still here."
Chang Le was not fully conscious and did not notice the strange look in Wang Yao's eyes. Her mind was filled with images of Ye Buqi's voice, appearance, and smile.
“I just don’t understand why Ye Buqi is only willing to see me through that android.” Chang Le’s eyes were downcast. After sighing, she found another reason, “Maybe she’s afraid that seeing her like this will make her sad.”
"Never mind, we can't force Sister Ye. She'll find out eventually."
Chang Le stood up, her exhaustion and haggardness visibly apparent. She said, "Let's find a place to rest."
The two walked in silence when Chang Le suddenly asked, "Why didn't you come back as promised that day?"
Wang Yao said in a low voice, "We were on our way that day, but we didn't expect to have an accident halfway there. There was a car accident on the road, and the car I was in was also involved. I was knocked unconscious. When I woke up, two days had passed. When I tried my best to get back to Mogan District, all I saw were burned-out buildings and empty houses."
He will never forget that day.
He dragged his injured leg and dizzy head back, carrying the first-place medal, prize money, and good news, only to find everything turned upside down when he got home.
Good news turned into bad news; when nothing was prepared, everything collapsed.
Wang Yao stayed in that dilapidated house for two days, carrying the things Chang Le hadn't packed and Ye Buqi's belongings.
"Later, I found out that after Ye Buqi's accident, you were taken to an orphanage."
"And you?" Chang Le asked.
Wang Yao said, "Like you, I also received attention because of this incident and people wanted to send me to the orphanage where you are. But I refused."
"Uncle Lin has less than six months left to live, and I want to accompany him on his final journey."
Wang Yao looked at Chang Le and said, "After I confirmed with Officer Yan that you were doing well at the orphanage, I refused their offer to take you in and stayed with Uncle Lin. I was thinking that I would go to the orphanage in Lincheng to find you after Uncle Lin left."
"Did you come looking for me later?" In Chang Le's existing memory, Wang Yao was not present in the later events.
Wang Yao said, "I went to look for you, but I couldn't find you."
"Why?"
"Three months later I went there to find you, but you had already been adopted."
Chang Le caught the key information, so much so that his pupils dilated with excitement: "By whom!"
In the dungeon "Jinse", her character is described as "an abandoned orphan".
In the memories that appear in the game, there is a couple who pull her out of the closed world without Ye Buqi, but then cruelly abandon her.
Those were real memories, but Chang Le didn't know the couple's identities, or the reasons for their adoption and abandonment.
"Who are they?" Chang Le repeated the question.
Wang Yao said:
"The Hua family, Hua Lihan and Wei Zi."
...
"Don't worry, Master. Madam only has a low-grade fever. She'll be fine after taking the medicine."
"In addition, after examination, it was confirmed that the lady's health is fine. As long as she continues to exercise and pays attention to maintaining a happy mood, her health will get better and better."
Zhou Xunqian, the Hua family's private doctor, stood to one side, while his female assistant retrieved the instruments used to examine Wei Zi.
Hua Lihan sat next to Wei Zi, while Zhou Liang stood by waiting.
Wei Zijiao complained to Hua Lihan, "I already said I'm fine. I've just been busy preparing for Ningning and Lele's banquet these past few days and caught a chill at night. It's not my old ailment. But you still insisted on having someone come and check on me."
